so 75-13=62. +1 (marecic)=63. We need to get to 54 players (Dobbs is suspended week 1 so he doesn't count to the 53 man roster). So we have 9 cuts to go. You figure Seneca Wallace is an obvious cut so there's 8 more.

According to rotoworld.com, we released WR Lavelle Hawkins and signed FB Owen Marecic. Looks like Anthony Dixon will be the odd man out as I dont see the 49ers keeping three fullbacks unless Dixon becomes the third running back while James is injured.

Damn really for Hawkins I thought with his play against SD he would of made the team. Was looking forward to it.

I knew when the Browns cut Marecic, JH was going to bite. I just don't think he's needed. You can't tell me brings mote to the team than Hawkins. And I can't see them cutting Dixon. So were going with 3 FBs? Its whatever though.

Sad to see Jennings go. I was hoping he would retire a Niner. And Ventrone still on team? Dahl can be the personal protector on punts. He did it in St Louis. Ventrone will probably be cut when Dobbs comes back.

I don't think Morris will have a problem clearing waivers. He hasn't looked great in pre-season. Kid needs alot work. Very raw but I love his size. He should be headed to the PS.

I scratched my head, too. My guess/hope is that Dixon will just fulfill RB3 duties while LaMichael James is out and Marecic will become FB2. Once James returns, Marecic will be out the door and Dixon can resume RB4/FB2.

I just don't understand keeping BOTH Tukafau and TJE. Then keeping Moody and Stupar. AND keeping Ventrone. I just don't see the value there over someone like Hawkins who just seemed to make plays. I guess its a moot point because most of these guys will be cut as other guys comeback from injury. I just really feel like Hawkins could have provided something where as the other's won't even be active for any games at all.

Baldwin, who can't catch a cold and just got here, makes the team over Jacobs who has made plays all preseason. Dafuq? I don't care if he's 6'4'' and 230 pounds. Don't mean ****. Probably a football politics move since they're responsible for his bloated salary. Sad that Jacobs career gets caught in the crossfire. And Celek over Gray? Fail.

Ness... Don't you bash gpngc for his opinion of Preseason play? There is FAR more to these decisions than just play against 3rd and 4th string.

Jonathan Baldwin has reportedly been amazing in practice and has picked up the playbook far faster than expected. He brings a presence the team greatly lacks. You say he can't catch a cold, but he has as many catches as Jacobs and he did that against 1's and 2's, Jacobs never saw the field that early. It has nothing to do with politics.

Garrett Celek is so much better at run-blocking and pass-pro than Gray. It's night-and-day. Celek is also far more refined running routes.

Jacobs and Gray will probably be PS guys. If they're as absolutely as good now as you feel then both will be signed to rosters of other teams immediately.

It won't happen.

There's far more to a player's ability than what can be seen against scrubs in pre-season.

Wait who did I bash about what? Anyways, Baldwin I think got a boatload of snaps with both the Chiefs and 49ers I think. He should have more catches. It would be expected. And yes he can't catch a cold. He's dropped a least four passes this preseason that hit him square in the hands. Did Jacobs drop a pass when he was thrown to? I honestly can't remember. Sure Baldwin did this thing when he wasn't dropped balls against starters, but he was also playing with starters. Jacobs did this thing against scrubs, but he was also playing with scrubs. So it goes both ways. Jacobs also has two touchdowns this season. He's made plays when given a chance and opportunities. Jacobs capitalized on the scraps he was given unlike AJ Jenkins who you also said needed to be fed the ball more. You never hear Jacobs name because of a **** up. Can't say the same for Baldwin. Doesn't matter, he'll get cut next season when his salary isn't an issue. And what reports are out there that Baldwin has been amazing in practice? Especially since training camp has been closed to the public since he's arrived? The last time we had public reports about Baldwin at a training camp he was getting roasted by Andy Reid.

Other than maybe Jennings i don't have an issue with the cuts. Although i would like to keep Cooper and Jacobs on the PS for sure.

If we sign Marecic and get Dobbs back week 2, we'll have to make 2 more cuts. I'm guessing Stupar and Tuakufu are on the bubble. Then of course, we have Crabs, Manningham, Carradine, Dial, and Wright coming back this year- so we'll have to make 5 cuts on top of the 2 more we currently have to make- so 7 players could be getting the axe.

Seriously, did Dan hack your account? Jacobs wasn't making this team, what are you nuts? He was a 4th string WR. If Hawkins doesn't make it, what right did Jacobs have to make it? Becuase he caught a couple of TD passes late in the 4th quarter of meaningless pre-season games, against other 4th stringers...not 1's and 2's? That kid was never going to make the 53, get real. Just like Darryl Morris, Cooper, Bykowski and all these other rookies you guys seemed to have a affinity for. You can always see where guys stand by what group they play with. If your making plays all pre-season, yet your still coming into the game with the 4th stringers the entire pre-season, then the writing is on the wall. I don't think Baldwin deserves to be on the 53 either, but not because Jacobs is this great talent we had to keep.

And what has Grey done at all this pre-season? Absolutely nothing. And I do mean nothing. Celek was always ahead of him on the depth chart. Gray was never really a threat. Another guy who was destined to be PS bound.

And it other news, Packers sign Tolizen. Interesting development, though not really. Not sure if they're seriously going to keep him or they want to pick his brain. Coleman does suck though so maybe he sticks around.
